Oklahoma City Thunder at Orlando Magic Predictions & Picks

Orlando are tipped to cover the spread as a home betting underdog.

Oklahoma City may be rolling right now, but they have not been the reliable spread bet that they have been in previous seasons and this is a lot of points on the road.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 1-7-0 ATS in their last 8 games
  • Orlando Magic are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting underdog
  • The Under has hit in 6 of Oklahoma City’s last 7 games
  • The Under has cashed in each of the previous 3 meetings

Head To Head

  • Oklahoma City Thunder lead the all-time series 47-26
  • Oklahoma City Thunder won 128-92 when the two teams last met on February 3

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to Orlando on one of their best runs of the season so far, having now reeled off eight consecutive victories.

The Thunder have not tasted defeat since the 124-116 loss in Detroit back on February 25.

They rebounded from that loss with a 127-121 overtime success at home to Denver, before going back out on the road to win three straight.

Oklahoma downed Dallas 100-87, and backed that up with a 116-108 victory in Chicago and a 103-100 win at New York.

The Thunder then made it eight-in-a-row with four straight wins at home, beating Golden State 104-97, Denver 129-126, Boston 104-102 and Minnesota 116-103.

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando enter this matchup looking to issue an immediate response to last night’s loss, which ended a seven-game win streak.

The Magic ended February with a 113-108 defeat to Houston, and began March with a 106-92 loss when they hosted Detroit.

They avoided a third straight defeat though, beating Washington 126-109 at home, and that proved to be the start of a seven-game surge.

Orlando beat Dallas 115-114 at home, and backed that up on the road as they downed Minnesota, 119-92, and Milwaukee, 130-91.

The Magic then returned home to beat Cleveland 128-122 and Washington 136-131 in overtime, but after making it seven-in-a-row with a 121-117 victory in Miami, they fell to a 124-112 defeat in Atlanta.

Verdict

Oklahoma City are heating up and the wins are stacking up, but the covers are not.

Right now the Thunder are finding ways to get the job done, so give us the Magic and a bunch of free points in this one.
